Launch of BeingThere Lab

As part of the i.ROCK Programme, the IDM Programme Office (IDMPO) has concluded negotiations with the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH), University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) for the establishment of the BeingThere International Research Centre (IRC) in Singapore (IRC@SG).

BeingThere will bring together some of the best minds in US and Europe in partnership with NTU to push the boundaries of 3D display and digital communications, and this new establishment joins a growing list of world-class institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Keio University, Tsinghua University and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft which have established IDM R&D centres in Singapore.
